The Vicksburg campaign opened March •_>:». 1st ;:-',. with General 
Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from 
Millikens Bend, and closed July 1, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- 
berton's arm}' and the citj' of Vicksburg. Its course was determined 
by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the 
march of his active army from Millikens Bend. La., to a point on tin- 
river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by 
a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of 
his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully 
accomplished and. May 1. the first battle of the campaign was foughl 
near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated 
the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. II<' 
then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam- 
paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of 
Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with 
Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum- 
bered and, after a stout tight, fell back to Jackson. The same day 
the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- 
mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's 
army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's 
division. 

After the battle of Raymond, Sherman's and McPherson's corps of 
Grant's army moved toward Jackson. They reached that city May 
11, and occupied it after a brief and spirited engagement with the 
small force there under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who readied that 
place the night of May 13. General Grant had now interposed 
his army between the armies of General Johnston and General Pem- 
berton. He left Sherman's corps one day at Jackson to complete the 
destruction of the stores and as much as possible of the railroads there. 
McPherson's corps marched from Jackson. May l. r >. toward Vicks- 
burg. May 16, McClernand's and McPherson's corps of Grant's army 
engaged three divisions of Pemberton's army at Champions 1 1 ill. 
Pemberton's forces were driven from the field in some confusion and 
with severe loss in killed, wounded, prisoners, and guns. Two divi- 
sions fell back toward Vicksburg. One division (Loring's) was cul 
off from the others and did not fall back to Vicksburg, bul marched 



to Crystal Springs and a little later united with Johnston's army at 
Jackson. May 17, a part of Pemberton's army attempted to hold the 
works on the east side of Big Black River, but was driven from its 
intrenchments, with considerable Loss in prisoners and guns, by the 
Thirteenth Corps of Grant's army. May L8, Pemberton's army took 
position in the defensive works around Vicksburg, Stevenson's divi- 
sion on the right, Forney's in the center, and M. L. Smith's on the 
left. Bowen's division and Waul'sTexas Legion were held in reserve, 
but later Green's (Dockery's) brigade 1 of Bowen's division was placed 
in the line of defense on the right of Smith and the left of Forney. 
Late in the afternoon of the same day Grant's army began taking 
position in the line of investment, Sherman's corps on the right, rest- 
ing its right on the Mississippi River above the city, McPherson's 
corps in the center, and McClernand's corps on the left of McPherson. 
May 24, Lauman's (Fourth) division. Sixteenth Army Corps, took 
position on the Left of McClernand, and, June 15, the investment was 
completed by Herron's division, from the Department of the Missouri, 
taking position on the left of Laumanand resting its left on the Missis- 
sippi River below Vicksburg. May 19 and again May '1-1, assaults were 
made by ( mint's army, but were repulsed with severe loss to the assail- 
ant-. From May 23 to July 4 regular siege operations were carried 
on by Grant, and opposed by Pemberton. During- this time Admiral 
Porter's fleet rendered valuable assistance, and Grant was also rein- 
forced by three divisions of the Sixteenth Corps, two divisions of the 
Ninth Corps, and Herron's division. With the exception of Lauman's 
and Herron's divisions, which took position in the line of investment 
as above noted, all these reinforcements and a part of the army with 
which he began the campaign were employed by Grant against the 
army of General Johnston. This last-named army, with headquarters 
at Jackson, was assembled with the hope of raising the siege or assist- 
ing Pemberton to break through Grant's line. No considerable force 
of Johnston's army crossed the Big Black River during the siege and 
defense. At the surrender, July 4, it was close to and on the east side 
of that river. The following pages give the organizations, a brief 
record of the movements and engagements, and the casualties of the 
three armies during the campaign, siege, and defense. 

l Brig. Gen. Martin E. Green was killed May 27.

This division moved from Millikens Bend April 1 I. and reached 
Perkins' plantation on the 26th. It crossed the Mississippi River to 
Bruinsburg late on the 30th, and reached the battlefield near Port 
Gibson about 7a. m. May 1. where Landram's (Second) brigade joined 

Hovey's (Twelfth) division in an attack, and was later relieved by 
Burbridge's (First) brigade. At daybreak, May It;, it was marching 
on the Raymond road toward Champions Hill, with two brigades of 
Blair's division. Fifteenth Army Corps, in support. After slight 
skirmishing in the early part of the day. the division in the afternoon 
joined in the pursuit of the enemy. May 17, at Big Black River 
Bridge, the division formed in line of battle on the left of Osterhaus, 
charged across the held, and captured the colors of the Sixtieth Ten- 
nessee Regiment and a number of prisoners. Burbridge's brigade 
reached the vicmity of Vicksburg about sunset May L8, and Landram's 
brigade the following morning, both taking part in the operations of 
the corps during that day. In the assault. May 22, Burbridge's brigade 
attacked the lunette on the Baldwins Ferry road, supporting Benton's 
brigade of Carr's (Fourteenth) division; Landram's brigade attacked 
the railroad redoubt, supporting Lawler's brigade of Carr's division. 
Its advance reached the ditch, and the colors of the Seventy-seventh 
Illinois were planted on the parapet of the redoubt. The position was 
held, under a heavy lire, until about sunset. During the siege the 
division held the right of the corps in the investment line (Landram's 
brigade on the right and Burbridge's brigade on the left), and made 
an approach to the lunette on the Baldwins Ferry road. The enemy 
used mines against the approach and burned both sap rollers, but the 
approach was pushed to within ten feet of the enemy's ditch and a mine 
started, which was not completed at the surrender.

This division left Millikens Bend April L6, and on the 18th made 
reconnoissance in the direction of the Mississippi River near the 
mouth of Gilberts Bayou in search of a practicable route. With the 
assistance of the pioneer corps the division in four days constructed 
four bridges and opened 2 miles of road through the forest, thus 
making a new route to the Mississippi below Vicksburg. Crossing 
the river to Bruinsburg soon after noon of April 30, the division 
marched throughout the night, reaching the battlefield near Port 
Gibson earlj on the morning of May 1. McGinnis 1 (First) brigade 
took a position near the enemy's line, at right angles with the road, 
Slack's (Second) brigade in the rear. Moving forward about 7 a. m. 
in connection with Benton's brigade of Carr's, the division made an 
assault, carried the ridge, and captured 2 pieces of artillery, a stand 
of colors, and between 200 and 300 prisoners. Later in the day 
the advance was renewed and the enemy driven from the field. 
May L3 the division covered the flank and rear of the Thirteenth 
Army Corps, camping that night at Dillons Crossroads and the night 
of the l.'dh near Bolton Station. May 16 tin 1 division moved on 
the Clinton road, arrived near Champion's Hill about 10 o'clock a. m., 
and encountered the enemy, strongly posted. McGinnis' brigade 
formed line of battle on the right and Slack's brigade on the left. At 
11 o'clock McGinnis advanced up the hill, broke the line of Cumming's 
brigade, captured 6 guns, and followed the broken and retreating 
enemy ahout 600 yards. Slack then advanced on the left, broke the 
enemy's line, and captured 5 guns, dust at this time Bowen's division 
came on the field, formed line of battle under lire, and with tin 1 help 
of fragments of regiments from the brigades of Lee and dimming, 
drove the division Lack almost to the guns captured by McGinnis? 
recapturing those taken by Slack. Here a determined stand was 
made. Thedivision was reinforced, firsl by Boomer's, and a little later 
by Holme-.', brigade of Quinby's division, Seventeenth Army Corps, 
and again advanced. Several Latteries of artillery, posted in a favor- 
able position by order of General Hovey, assisted in the final rout of 



L5 



the enemy, who was in full retreal at I (/clock p. m. The division 
remained on the battlefield to assist in caring for tin- dead, wounded, 
and prisoners. May 1!' it reached Big Black River Bridge. On the 
22d Mediums' brigade moved to the Vicksburg lino, where it un- 
joined by Slack's brigade May 24. During the siege the division held 
the left of the corps line of investment Slack on the fight, McGinnis 
on the left— and made an approach to the Square Fort. This approach 
was not begun until late in the siege, but was pushed forward vigor- 
ously and was within 35 feet of the enemy's ditch at the surrender. 
General Hovey reports a loss in the division during the siege, and not 
covered by the casualty tables, of 19 killed and 7t'> wounded.

Leaving Millikens Bend April L2, this division arrived at Perkins' 
plantation April 22, and crossed the river to Bruinsburg April 30. 
May 1. Stone's (Second) brigade came upon the enemy neat' Magnolia 
Church nt 1 o'clock a. m. and the division formed line of battle. At 
6.30 ;i. in. it advanced in line. Benton's (First) brigade on the right 
and St<me\- brigade on the left. The right was joined by a portion 
of Hovey's division and made an attack that broke the line of the 
enemy and captured -1 guns and 200 or 300 prisoners. At the battle 
of Champions Hill, May L6, the division was but slightly en*gaged. 
At Big Black River Bridge, May IT. Benton's brigade formed across

the road, and Stone's (now commanded by Lawler) advanced on the 
right, vigorously assaulted the enemy, carried his line of works and 
captured IS guns, 5 stand of colors, l.liM small arms, and 1,751 
prisoners. May 19 the division reached the vicinity of the enemy's 
works at Vicksburg, and on the 20th relieved A. J. Smith's division in 
the advance. In the assault, May 22, Benton's brigade advanced against 
the lunette on the Baldwins Ferry road, on or very near the parapet 
of which some of its colors were planted. Lawler's brigade advanced 
against the railroad redoubt, on the parapet of which the colors of 
the Twenty-second Iowa were placed. A few men of this regiment 
forced their way inside the redoubt, but those not killed were soon 
compelled to retire to the outside of the parapet. Part of the brigade 
remained in the trench until sundown, when some were captured and 
the others forced to fall back. During the siege the division held 
the right-center of the corps line of investment — its right resting at 
the railroad — and made an approach to the railroad redoubt. This 
approach was 30 feet from the enemy's ditch at the surrender. The 
three approaches of the Thirteenth Army Corps were under charge of 
Lieut. Peter C. Hains, engineer, who is given high praise for untiring 
energy and devotion to the work.

to Hard Times, opposite Grand Gulf, crossed the Mississippi River 
the night of May 11, and on the 12th marched toward Jackson by the 
road through Willow Springs and Auburn, reaching Raymond the 
evening of the 15th. May 16 the brigades marched toward Edwards 
Station, on the lower road, with A. J. Smith's division of McClernand's 
corps. After the battle opened at Champion's Hill, Giles A. Smith's 
brigade formed on the right of the road, connecting with the left of 
Osterhaus. Late in the afternoon the brigades advanced in line of 
battle and assisted in the pursuit of the enemy. Twelve pieces of artil- 
lery and about 300 prisoners were captured during the evening and 
the following morning. May 17, the two brigades moved forward by 
Edwards Depot to Bridgeport and crossed the Big Black River at that

that night approached to within a few hundred yards of the enemy's 
works to the right and left of the graveyard road. Ewing's (Third) 
brigade arrived from Millikens Bend during the night and joined the 
division in this position, having inarched 85 miles in three days. May 
l'.i the division was formed for the assault, T. Kilby Smith's brigade 
on the left across tin; graveyard road, Giles A. Smith's in the center,

lodgment therein. The positions gained were held until night, when 
the division was withdrawn. May 22 it was massed in a ravine to the 
left of the graveyard road, and a storming partj of L50 \ olunteerw was 
formed for the assault. Four batteries were placed in positions from 
which their fire could be concentrated on the stockade redan on the grave 
yard road. At LO o'clock a. in. the signal was given and Ewing's bri 
gade, led by the storming party, dashed forward by the flank on the road 
under a beavy tire. The storming party and sonic men of the lead 
ing regiment (Thirtieth Ohio) reached the outer slope of the redan, 
whore the brigade headquarters flag was planted. Mosl of Ewing's 
brigade took position behind the crest of a ridge on the left of the road 
and about 140 yards from the enemy's lint 1 , and maintained a heavy 
fire on the enemy until night. Giles A. Smith's brigade took posi- 
tion on the left of Ewing, and in the afternoon, in connection with 
Ransom's brigade, McArthur's division, Seventeenth Corps, made a 
vigorous but unsuccessful assault on that part of the enemy's line, 
with T. Kilby Smith's brigade in support. This last-named brigade 
formed part of the expeditionary force under General Blair, and 
marched. May :27. to Mechanicsburg. It returned dune 4, and took 
position on the right of the division in tin 1 investment line and made 
an approach to a lunette in its front. Ewing's brigade held the center 
of the division investment line and made an approach to the stockade 
redan. Giles A. Smith's brigade held the left and made an approach 
to a lunette in its front. All the approaches were pushed close to the 
works in their respective fronts and mines were started from them, but 
had not been charged at the surrender.

7th, crossed the river to Grand Gulf the same day, and on the 8th 
marched to Willow Springs and on the L2th to Fourteenmile Creek. 
May VS. it marched in the advance to Mississippi Springs, where t h> - 
enemy's pickets were encountered. At daylight, May II. the division 
moved toward Jackson. On the advance of Mower's (Second) and 
Matthies' (Third) brigades the enemy retreated, leaving LO pieces of 
artillery and L50 prisoners. May It;, at noon, the division left J 
son and marched, via Bolton and Bridgeport, to the rear of Vicksburg, 
where it arrived the evening of May Is. In the assault at 2 p. m., 
May 19, Buckland's (First) brigade supported Blair's division, with 
three regiments on the rightand one on the left of thegraveyard road. 
The division took no part in the attack the forenoon of May 22. In 
the afternoon Mower's brigade assaulted the stockade redan on the 
graveyard road. The colors of the Eleventh Missouri were planted 
on the parapet beside the headquarters flag of Ewing's brigade. The 
division commander in his report says: 

The attack was made with the greatest braveryand impetuosity, and its failureonly 
serves to prove that it is impossible to carry this position by storm. 

May 26, this brigade was detailed as part of the expeditionary force 
under General Blair and marched to Mechanicsburg. When this force 
was recalled the brigade remained in the vicinity of Haynes Bluff until 
June 8. when it was ordered to Youngs Point. Louisiana, and from th 
advanced to Richmond, where it skirmished with the enemy. Return 
ing to Youngs Point, it was engaged in picketing the river and watch 
ing for hostile demonstrations on the Louisiana side until the end of 
the siege. Col. Andrew J. Weber, Eleventh Missouri Infantry, was 
killed on duty in the trenches opposite the city of Vicksburg. From 
May 23 to June 22. Buckland's and Matthies' (First and Third) bri- 
gades participated in the operations of the siege, holding a place in 
the investment line between the right of Blair's division and the left 
of Steele's. On the last-named date, under the division commander 
and as part of the force commanded by General Sherman, both bri- 
gades moved to Bear Creek, where they remained to the end of the 
siesre.

Ferry road. During the siege the division made an approach to the 
outlying fort of the enemy on the east side of the Halls Ferry road. 
This fort, being very salient, was much exposed to attack. The enemy, 
conscious of this, made repeated sorties to drive off the working parties.

attached to the Thirteenth Army Corps. The positions of the respec- 
tive brigades in the division investment line are not clearly shown by 
the official reports, which are meager. According to reports by Gen-

While the division was crossing the Mississippi River to Bruinsburg, 
the night of April 30-May 1, a collision between the steamboats 
Horizon and Moderator resulted in the sinking of the former, the 
drowning of two enlisted men belonging to Batteiy G, Second Illinois 
Light Artillery, and the loss of the guns, the equipment, and most of 
the horses of this battery. At Port Gibson, May 1, J. E. Smith's 
(First) brigade attacked on the left of McClernand, and Stevenson's 
(Third) brigade was sent to the support of McClernand's right. Den- 
nis' (Second) brigade was but slightly engaged. The division crossed 
the south fork of Bayou Pierre, May 2, marched via Willow Springs 
to Hankinsons Ferry, where it bivouacked three days. May 7 it 
moved, via Rocky Springs, toward Raymond, near which place. May

was driven from the battlefield and the division encamped that night 
in Raymond. May 14 the division was near Jackson. May 15 it 
marched via Clinton and bivouacked 7 miles west of that town. May

lino of battle on his right, Leggett's brigade on the left of the divi- 
sion line, J. E. Smith's on the right of Leggett, and Stevenson's at 
first in reserve, but soon in line on the right of Smith. In this order

and arrived in rear of Vicksburg at LO a. m. May l'». taking position 
on the righl and lefl of the Jackson road. 

May 22, at lit a. in., John E. Smith's brigade unsuccessfully attacked 
both curtains of the Third Louisiana redan, and Stevenson's brigade 
advanced to the ditch of the redoubl south of the Jackson road. Leg 
gett's brigade being in reserve. At 2 o'clock p. m. Smith's brigade 
made a second unsuccessful assault upon the enemy's position. I >u 
the siege this brigade held the right of the division line, its cam 
being clustered about the "White House." When the mine under 
the Third Louisiana redan was tired. June 25, the brigade occupied the 
crater, was closely and sharply engaged with the enemy, and suffered 
severely. Leggett's brigade moved to Mechanicsburg, .May 26, as 
part of the expeditionary force under General Blair, returning to the 
rear of Vicksburg June 4. June 22 the brigade, as .pari of a pro 
visional division commanded by General McArthur, moved to Strai 
plantation on the Birdsong Ferry road, and thence, dune 30, to Tiffin, 
where it constructed earthworks and remained until Vicksburg sur- 
rendered. Stevenson's brigade, during the siege, held the left of the 
division line, its right resting on the Jackson road. Under the ; 
sonal direction of Capt. A. Hickenlooper, corps engineer, the division 
made an approach to the Third Louisiana redan, on the north side of 
the Jackson road. This approach began east of the " White House," 
crossed the Jackson road five times (a branch trench running wesl of 
south from the main one, making a sixth crossing), and reached the 
redan against which it was directed June 22. A mine was then run under 
the redan, charged with 2,200 pounds of powder, and fired at 3.30 
p. m. June 25. The troops rushed in and occupied the crater made 
by the explosion, but a parapet in the rear was successfully held by 
the enemy. A second mine was started dune 28, from a covered gal- 
lery in the crater, and fired July 1. doing greater damage to the 
enemy's earthworks than at the first explosion. No attempt was made 
to occupy the new crater. 

On the surrender Jul}' 4, by order of General Grant, the division 
marched within the enemy's intrenchments, and its commander, Gen- 
eral Logan, was assigned temporarily to the command of the city of 
Vicksburg. As reported by (Jens. d. E. Smith and Leggett, brigade 
commanders, the First Brigade lost during the siege, and not covered 
by the casualty tables. 31 killed and 17*; wounded. This does not 
include any losses prior to May 23. The division held the center of 
the corps investment line.

drawn after dark, bringing away its killed and wounded. Holmes' 
brigade was in reserve in the first position of the division, and late in

sion. During the siege the division held the left of the corps line of 
investment Sanborn's brigade on the left. Holmes's brigade in the 
center, and Boomer's brigade on the right of the division line. San-

4, inclusive, us shown by the official reports of commanding officers, 
and not included in the casualty tables, was 5 enlisted men killed. 1 
officer and 15 enlisted men wounded. A short parallel was completed 
200 yards from the enemy's line, and an approach started from it 
against the redoubt immediately west of the Warrenton road. This 
approach was 100 yards from the enemy's ditch at the surrender.

Two of the regiments in this command (Fifth Illinois Cavalry and 
Third Iowa Cavalry) seem to have been at Helena. Ark., May 29. 
The other regiment (Second "Wisconsin Cavalry) was at Memphis, 
Tenn., at that time. A detachment of the Fifth Illinois participated 
in a skirmish at Mechanicsburg June 4. Colonel Bussey's headquar- 
ters was at Haynes Bluff. June 26 he was sent by General Sherman 
toward Mechanicsburg. June 29 he was ordered by General Sherman 
to mass his command on Bear Creek, and was charged to especially 
watch the lower Benton road and the ford below Birdsong. First 
Lieut. W. M. Wilson (Forty-third Tennessee Infantry, Confederate), 
reports the capture, June 25, at Ellisville, Miss., of Captain Mann, a 
first lieutenant, and 35 enlisted men, all of the Fifth Illinois Cavalry. 
June 25 three companies of the Fifth Illinois, under Major Farnam, 
joined the expedition from Snyders Bluff to Greenville, commanded 
by Lieutenant-Colonel Nasmith, Twenty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry.

The troops enumerated in this command appear to have been assem- 
bled from time to time between May 19 and June 12 and their selection 
determined by necessity or convenience. No orders of assignment 
either for the regiments or for the district or brigade commanders 



42 

appear in the Official Records. The command included a brigade of 
colored troops in processor organization during the siege, [n con- 
nection with the two regiments composing General Reid's brigade of 

the Sixtli Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, and. after about June 
li». Mower's brigade, Third Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, the com- 
mand guarded the Louisiana shore of the Mississippi River from Lake 
Providence to the landing below Vicksburg. At Millikens Bend, 
June 7. the Twenty-third Iowa Infantry was present and bore the 
brunt of the fighting on the Federal side. The Ninth and Eleventh 
Louisiana Infantry (colored) were the other regiments engaged. The 
loss (not given in the casualty tables) was 11 officers and '.*»> enlisted 
men killed. 17 officers and 268 enlisted men wounded, 2 officers and 
264 enlisted men captured or missing — 26 of the killed and 60 of the 
wounded belonging to the Twenty-third Iowa.. The gunboats Choc- 
taw and Lexington assisted in repulsing the attack of the enemy. At 
Lake Providence, June 9, 300 of the Eighth Louisiana Regiment (col- 
ored) were present and assisted General Reid's force in repulsing an 
attack. 

Mississippi Marine Brigade. — Brig. Gen. Alfred W. Ellett. 

This was a semi-independent command, consisting of artillery, 
infantry, and cavalry, and a fleet for their transportation. At its organ- 
ization in April, 1862, it consisted of about 350 officers and men, includ- 
ing boat crews, using nine small light-armored boats, mostly titled as 
rams. One of these vessels was captured and one sunk by the enemy 
before the beginning of the Vicksburg campaign. The brigade was 
in the vicinity of Vicksburg at the opening of the campaign and for 
some time previously, but April 5, by direction of Admiral Porter, 
went to the Tennessee River. Returning, it reached the fleet above 
Vicksburg May 29. June 11 the brigade joined General Mower's 
expedition to Richmond, La., and skirmished w T ith the enem} T , losing 
3 wounded. Under date of June 20 Admiral Porter reported that 
two Impounder rifled howitzers, placed by the brigade on the Louisi- 
ana side, had much annoyed the enemy for two or three days. The 
night of dune ID, by order of General Ellett, work was begun on a 
casemate fort on the point opposite the city of Vicksburg. The fort 
was completed in four days, being covered with one thickness of rail- 
road iron. A 20-pounder Parrott gun was placed in it and tire opened 
on the city the morning of June 23. The enemy promptly responded, 
firing 77 rounds from five different guns. Tin- fort was further 
strengthened by adding another thickness of railroad iron. Fire from 
the Parrott gun in it was maintained until the end of the siege, 98 
rounds in all being tired. Considerable damage to the enemy, espe- 
cially l>y stopping W >rk at his foundry and machine shop, was done. 
The fort was repeatedly struck, but without material damage to it 



43 

and without loss to the brigade. The fort was erected and the 
put in position under the direction of Lieut. Col. George E. Currie. 
The gun was commanded and sighted by Captain Groshon in person. 
June 25-30 a detachment of the brigade, on the steamer John Rains, 
formed part of an expedition to Greenville, under command of Lieu 
tenant-Colonel Nasmith, Twenty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry. June 30 
the brigade lost at Goodrichs Landing, 1 officer (Captain Wright), 
killed. 

A ruling of the Judge-Advocate-General, dated June 11. L863, 
seems to make this brigade "a special contingent and portion of the 
Army, and not of the Navy." hut as late as duly •_':; General Grant 
wrote "They [the officers and men of the Marine Brigade] arc not 
subject to ni} T orders." 

PORTER'S FLEET. 

Rear-Admiral David D. Porter. 

The campaign and siege of Vicksburg is the only great operation of 
the civil war in which there was active, continuous, and successful 
cooperation between the two arms of the service. General (riant is 
authority for the statement that without the assistance of the Navy 
the campaign undertaken by his army could not have been success- 
fully made with twice the number of men engaged and would not 
have been contemplated. 

The most perfect harmony existed between the commanding officers 
of the respective branches of the service, and the navy rendered all 
possible aid throughout the campaign. Its first important duty was 
to provide supplies, ammunition, and means of ferriage at a point 
below Vicksburg. To accomplish this it was necessary to run by the 
river batteries, consisting of 31 pieces of heavy artillery and 1:1 of 
light, occupying commanding positions along more than four milesof 
shore line. The vessels selected for this service were given such 
added protection as could be devised with logs of wood and bales <>f 
wet hay, and, with lights out and every precaution against being seen 
or heard, started from the mouth of the Yazoo River at 9.15 p. m. 
April 1H, in the following order: The flagship Benton with the tug 
Ivy lashed alongside, the LafayetU and the ram (i<ii>r<tl /*/■/<■> lashed 
together, the LouisvilL . Mound City, Pittsburg, Carondelet, and Tus- 
cumbia — the transports Silver Wave, Forest Queen, and Henry Clay, 
laden with stores, being just in advance of the Tuscumbia. Each ves- 
sel except the Benton had a barge of coal lashed to her starboard side. 
They were successively under tire nearly an hour, and although repeat- 
edly struck by heavy missile-, all except the transport Henry Clay 
(which was burned and sunk), anchored safely below Warrenton at 
about 2 a. m. April 17. During the passage 1 officer and Lo men 



44 

were wounded. The gunboats fired shell and grape while passing the 
t<>\\ u and the main batteries, the crews working their guns without 
light on the deck. 

April 29 after the advance divisions of the army had reached the 
west bank of the Mississippi River at Perkins' plantation, Louisiana, 
the Benton^ Lafayette, Louisville, Tuscumbia, Mound ('it;/. Caronde- 
let, and Pittsburg made a gallant attempt to silence the batteries of 
the enemy at Grand Gulf, recently very strongly fortified. The 
engagement began about 8 a. m. and continued for five hours. Every 
vessel was struck repeatedly and some of them considerably injured, 
although none were seriously disabled. Failing fully to accomplish 
the undertaking, the vessels moved out of range, but renewed the 
attack about 7 p. m. for the purpose of permitting the transport fleet, 
now augmented by five that were sent down from above during the 
night of April 22, to pass the batteries, after which the}' were joined 
below by the armed vessels. The loss was 1 officer and 18 men killed, 
6 officers and 50 men wounded. 

April 30 and May 1 the gunboats and transports carried the Thir- 
teenth Army Corps and two divisions of the Seventeenth across the 
river, landing them at Bruinsburg. Later they carried Ransom's and 
Hall's brigades of the Seventeenth Corps and the Fifteenth Corps to 
the east bank of the river. This service of the navy was an indispen- 
sable condition of General Grant's plan of campaign. He was thereby 
enabled to turn the enemy's flank and begin the series of operations 
which resulted in the capture of Pemberton's army and the city of 
Vicksburg. April 30 an attack was made upon the fortifications of the 
enemy at Haynes Bluff by a naval squadron under command of Lieut. 
Commander K. A. Breese, consisting of the Tyler, Choctaw, De K<i/h. 
Signal, Romeo, Linden, Petrel* and Blackhawk, with three 13-inch mor- 
tars in tow of tugs. This attack was made by order of General Grant 
as a feint to cover his operations below, and in conjunction with a 
demonstration on the land by Blair's division of the Fifteenth Army 
Corps under the personal direction of General Sherman. The navy 
was under tire for three and one-half hours on April 30 and renewed 
the attack May 1 without loss on either day. 

May Is, upon hearing firing in the rear of Vicksburg. Admiral 
Porter sent Lieutenant-Commander Breese. with the De Kdlb, Choctaw, 
Li nd, a, Romeo, Petrel, and Forest Hose, up the Yazoo River, and 
succeeded in opening communication with General Grant and furnish- 
ing a much-needed supply of provisions. Lieutenant-Commander 
Walker, on the 1>> Kalb, pushed on up to Haynes Bluff, which had 
been evacuated by the enemy and was in the hands of a detachment of 
the Fourth Iowa Cavalry. A large quantity of military stores and 
equipage, including L3 heavy guns, was found there and taken pos- 
session of by the navy. 



45 

May 20, Lieut. Commander John G. Walker, with the A /wM, 
Choctaw, Forest Host . Linden, and Petrel,\eft Snyders Bluff for an 
expedition to Yazoo City, which was reached, May 21, and found 
evacuated. Three vessels in process of construction were destroyed, 
with material, .shops, and machinery, and 1 15 soldiers in hospital were 
captured and paroled. The expedition returned to the mouth of the 
Yazoo May 23. At Liverpool Landing the fleet was fired upon by a 
masked force of held guns and riflemen, losing 1 man killed and 8 
wounded. 

In response to a request from General Grant, the Benton, M<>, m<l 
City, Carondelet, and Tuscumbia were ordered by Admiral Porter, 
May 22, to attack the batteries of the enemy on the river front. The 
attack was made upon the hill and water batteries below the city, and 
was vigorously sustained for two hours and until nearly noon, a num- 
ber of the enemy's batteries being temporarily silenced. The vessels 
were repeatedly struck but not disabled. The fleet lost 1 officer and 
3 men wounded. 

May 24, Lieut. Commander John (i. Walker, with the A Kalb, Sig- 
nal, Forest Rose, Linden, and Petrel, started on a second expedition 
up the Yazoo River. With the three boats last-named he pushed on 
to within 15 miles of Fort Pemberton and burned four of the enemy's 
steamers. In a skirmish next morning 2 men on the Petrel were 
wounded. Three more of the enemy's steamers were burned in tribu- 
tary bayous on the return to the mouth of the Yazoo, which was 
reached May 31. 

May 27, at 8 a. m., the Benton, Mound City, Carondelet, and Ster- 
ling Price renewed the attack on the lower batteries of the enemy 
along the river front. The engagement lasted an hour and fifteen 
minutes, with slight injury to the boats and no loss to the crews. At 
the same time an attack was made by the Cincinnati, from above 
Vicksburg, upon the batteries at that end of the enemy's line. She 
was repeatedly struck by heavy missiles, her masts and flagstaff were 
soon shot awa\ T , and she was fatally injured by plunging shots from 
the hills. Running to the north shore of the great bend, the ('in<-in- 
iKiti sunk in 18 feet of water, her flag still floating from the stump of 
the mast, where it had been nailed during action. The loss was :-; men 
killed, 16 w^ounded (2 mortally), 1 captured and paroled. 14 drowned; 
total, 34. Lieut. George M. Bache, commanding the Cincinnati, and 
the other officers and men of the vessel were highly commended for 
coolness and bravery by Admiral Porter, by General Sherman, who 
witnessed the engagement, and by the Secretary of the Navy. 

During the entire campaign the navy was alert in patrolling the river, 
preventing communication with the enemy, and assisting the land forces 
whenever possible. It rendered efficient service in the attack upon 
Millikens Bend and Youngs Point, June 7. and again in the attack at 



46 

Goodrich's Landing June 29, but after May 27 Little occurred aside 
from the routine of siege operations. In the latter the mortar boats, 
under command of Gunner Eugene Mack, and later of Ensign Miller, 
bore an important part. Anchored in front of the city, under the east 
bank of the western channel of the river, for forty-two days and nights 
the 11 and L3-inch shells from these boats were continually falling in all 
parts of the beleaguered territory, and proved both annoying and 
demoralizing. Thirteen heavy cannon, from 32-pounder to 9-inch 
guns, were landed from the fleet and placed, in position along the 
investment line. Lieut. Commander T. O. Selfridge, Acting Masters 
C. B. Dahlgren and T. F. Reed, and as many officers and men as could 
be spared were sent with the guns. In addition, three heavy guns, a 
10- inch. 9-inch, and 100-pounder rifle, under the command of Lieu- 
tenant-Commander Ramsay, were placed on scows in front of the city 
and north of the mortar fleet, enfilading the enemy's defenses in front 
of General Sherman's right. 

The entire loss of the navy during the campaign and siege, as shown 
by the official reports, was 1 officer and 2'2 men killed, 8 officers and 
94 men wounded, 1 man captured, and 14 men drowned; total, 140.

Ferry road to Warrenton, and od the lltli joined Bowen in the advance. 
May 15 it reached a position on the Raymond road a few miles east of 
Edwards Depot. At Champions Hill, May 16, Barton's (First) brigade 
was. after the withdrawal of Reynolds's brigade to guard the division 
train, on the right of the division line as first formed. It remained 
inactive, save an occasional change of position, till near noon, when it 
moved at double quick to the left to support General Lee. It was 
then on the left of the division line, and in this position was sharprj 
engaged with the enemy, by whom it was nearly surrounded. It fell 
back in some confusion, crossed Bakers Creek at the bridge on the 
middle Raymond road,, and held that position until the army had 
crossed at the ford below. After the withdrawal of Reynolds' brigade 
to guard the train, Cumming's (Second) 1 brigade held the center of the 
division line, May 16, and was formed on two sides of a right angle, 
the right wing facing nearly east and the left wing nearly north. One 
regiment and four companies of another formed the left wing. In 
this position the brigade received the first attack of the enemy, which 
was delivered near the angle, broke the brigade line and compelled it 
to fall back in some confusion. A portion of the brigade rallied and 
assisted in resisting the enemy until about -t p. m., when it joined the 
retreat across Bakers Creek at the lower ford and bridge. Lee's 
(Third) 2 brigade held the left of the division line as formed after the 
withdrawal of Reynolds, and faced east. By 8 o'clock a. m. its skir- 
mishers were engaged on both the Clinton and Raymond roads. 
About 9 o'clock a. m. the brigade marched, under tire and by succes- 
sive movements, by the left flank about a half mile, filed left, marched 
nearly due west for a little over the length of the brigade, and formed 
line of battle facing north. The enemy's attack fell upon the brigade 
in this position, which it maintained for some time. When forced to 
fall back, it formed on a parallel ridge south of its former position, 
and, later, formed line again south of the Raymond road. At the 
close of the battle it crossed Bakers Creek by the lower ford and 
bridge. General Lee had three horses shot under him. The division 
commander reported : 

It was the fortune of General Lee to open and bearthe brunt of the battle of Bakers 

Creek. 

Early in the morning of May 16 Reynolds's (Fourth) brigade left 
its position at the left of the division line and marched toward Browns- 
ville as guard of the division train. The train was parked some dis- 
tance west of Bakers Creek and remained there until ."> o'clock p. m.. 
when it moved toward Edwards Depot under guard of two regiments 
of infantry and a section of artillery. The remainder of the brigade 

Called Third Brigade in official reports of brigade commander.

started for Makers Creek bridge in response to a call from General 
Barton for reenforeements. On approaching the bridge his troops 
were found in retreat and Colonel Reynolds was ordered to fall back 
to Edwards Depot. The rapid advance of the enemy, however, sep- 
arated him from the retreating army, and he successfully crossed the 
Big Black River with the train at Bridgeport. At Big- Black River 
Bridge, May 17. the division was on the west side of the river, and at 
LOa. m. was ordered to retreat to the fortifications around Vicksburg, 
which were reached by the head of the column about 3 o'clock p. m. 
May 18 the division took position in the line of defense, resting its 
left at the railroad, connecting with General Forney's right, and its 
right at the redoubt on the west side of the Warrenton road. It was 
also held responsible for the defense of the river front for an indefi- 
nite distance between its right and the city of Vicksburg. Barton's 
brigade held the right, Reynolds's the right-center, Cumming's the 
left -center, and Lee's the left of the division line. The assault of the 
enemy. May 22, fell heavily upon the left of the division line, being 
especially directed against the railroad redoubt at its extreme left. The 
ditch and outer face of the parapet were occupied by the enemy and a 
small party entered the redoubt, but was soon compelled to retire to the 
outer slope of the parapet. The redoubt remained unoccupied several 
hours, but was retaken late in the afternoon by a detachment from 
Waul's Texas Legion. The division maintained the position above 
indicated to the end of the siege. Saps were pushed by the enemy 
against the railroad redoubt, Fort Garrott, and the salient redoubt 
immediately east of the Halls Ferry road. These were resisted by 
countermines, and in several instances by sorties made by detachments 
from Cumming's and Rejmolds' brigades. 

Leaving 300 of his troops at Fort Pemberton, Colonel Waul moved, 
May 4. to Snyder's Mill with the remainder of the Texas Legion. 
May 14 he reported to General Baldwin at Whittaker's, on the Hall's 
Ferry road. Colonel Waul reports that the portion of the legion 
which entered the city. May 17. and was present during the defense, 
consisted of eleven companies of infantry, one company of cavalry, a 
detachment of mounted scouts, a battalion of zouaves attached to the 
command, and Captain Wall's battery of artillery — the latter being 
ordered to report to General Forney, under whose command it 
remained during the defense. The afternoon of May 19, by order, 
the command reported to General Stevenson and was placed in the 
rear of General Lee's brigade, that being the most assailable and 
threatened point on General Stevenson's line. May 22 two companies 
»f the legion, under command of Maj. (). Steele, were sent to support 
the troop- in the railroad redoubt, and later volunteered to recapture 
the work after its temporary abandonment. A detachment consisting 
of about one-half of each company, under Capt. L. Bradley and Lieut. 



51 

J. Hogue, was accepted, and, accompanied by Lieut. Col. E. W. Pettus, 
Twentieth Alabama, retook the redoubt, captured a stand of colors, 
and sent it to Colonel Waul, by whom it was transmitted to General 
Lee with a note. During the defense the command was distributed 
in the rifle pits and forts, forming nightly scouting parties, parties of 
reconnoissance, and supporting the working parties and pickets. 
Colonel Waul reported Assistant Adjutant-General Popendieck and 
Aid-de-Camp Simmons killed May 22, but their names do not appear 
in the official list, "Officers reported killed." 

The Botetourt (Virginia) Artillery was closely engaged at Port Gib- 
son, May 1, where it lost 4 of its guns. At the battle of Champions Hill, 
May 16, its 2 remaining guns were posted on top of the hill near the 
angle in the line of Cumming's brigade. They were captured early in 
the battle by the advance of McGinnis 1 brigade, which broke the 
line at the angle.

This division, previously commanded by Maj. Gen. Dabnej^H. Maury, 
was placed under command of General Forney April 17. At this date 
it occupied the line along the Yazoo River from Haynes Bluff to the 
Mississippi River, including- the approach by Chickasaw Baj'ou. April 
30 the division met the feint attack of General Sherman and the gun- 
boats at Haynes Bluff. The brigade of General Hebert remained in 
tins position to May 17, occupying the entire line above indicated 
after the withdrawal, May 2, of General Moore's brigade to the vicinity 
of Warrenton. May 18 the division took position in the center of the 
Line of defense, connecting on its left with M. L. Smith's division at 
the graveyard road and with that of Stevenson at the railroad on its 
right. Moore's brigade held the right and Hebert's the left of the 
division line. Twenty-seven pieces of artillery, mostly light, were in

couimand, and Batteries T>, F, and K, at Port Hudson, La.

position on its line. Three or four siege guns were added later. May 
19 three regiments and one battalion of Hubert's brigade repelled 
three several attacks on the left, two colors of the enemy being aban- 
doned within 10 feet of the works, but not taken on account of the 
severe tire of the enemy's sharpshooters. May 22 the left of Hubert's 
brigade, at and near the graveyard road, again sustained three 4 distinct 
and serious assaults, and repulsed each with severe loss to tin 1 enemy. 
May 22 the center of the division, immediately on right and left of 
the Jackson road, was twice vigorously assaulted. The enemy suc- 
ceeded in getting into the ditch here, but was driven out with loss by 
Hebert's right regiment, assisted Iry Moore's left and by the Sixth 
Missouri, of Cockrell's brigade. During the da} 7 two determined 
assaults, one at ]() o'clock a. m. and one late in the afternoon, were 
made on the right of Moore's line, and especially directed against the 
salient lunette immediately south of the Baldwins Ferry road and the 
earthworks adjacent to it. The afternoon assault was the more deter- 
mined, the enemy coming up and even into the outer ditch of the 
lunette, but being finally repelled by its defenders, the Second Texas, 
assisted by the Forty-second Alabama on the right and the Thirt}^- 
seventh Alabama on the left. Two stands of colors fell into the hands 
of the Second Texas. 

June 2, Green's brigade, Bowen's division, was interposed between 
the left of Forney and M. L. Smith's right, thereby shortening 
Hebert's line, which closed to the right and rested its left about mid- 
way between the graveyard road and Glass Bayou. June 8, Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel Russell, Third Louisiana, succeeded in burning the cotton 
bales placed on a car, under cover of which the enenry had been advanc- 
ing his works on the Jackson road. The cotton was fired bj" wrapping- 
musket balls in tow steeped in turpentine and tiring them into the 
bales. The enemy pushed an approach close against the redan imme- 
diately north of the Jackson road, and ran a mine under the parapet. 
The mine was fired, June 25, and the enemy occupied the crater made 
by the explosion. A parapet immediately in its rear was gallantly 
and successfully defended by the Third Louisiana and supporting 
regiments. July 1 another mine was tired at the same point, but the 
eneni} T made no attempt to occupy the new crater, and gained no 
advantage except the partial destruction of the redan. The enemy 
also made close approaches against the lunette on the Baldwins Ferry 
road, which were resisted and much retarded by burning his sap rollers 
and by countermines.

Baldwin's brigade, of this division, marched from its camp near 
Vicksburg, April 29, arriving on the battlefield ai Port Gibson just 
before noon of May 1, where it found Bowen's forces falling back 
before superior numbers. The brigade made a brave l>ut unsuccessful 
attempt to restore the battle, but was compelled to retire. May 4 it 
returned to Vicksburg, next day moved 5 miles out on the Baldwins 
Ferry road, and thence, May 10, to a point on the Warrenton and 
Halls Ferry road, 10 miles from Vicksburg. May 15 it was ordered 
to Mount Albans, and May 17 moved to Big Black River Bridge. The 
Fourth Mississippi crossed to the east side, where it was temporarily 
attached to Vaughn's brigade, which had been in the trenches here 
since Ma}* 13. The latter brigade, thus reinforced, was driven from 
the position b} T a charge of the enemy, losing heavily in prisoners. 
The remaining regiments of Baldwin's brigade covered the crossing 
of the troops from the east side of the river, both brigades falling 
back to Vicksburg, where the division was assigned to the line of 
defense north of the city and between the graveyard road and the 
river front, a distance of about li miles. Shoup's brigade was on the 
right, Baldwin's in the center, and Vaughn's on the left of the division 
line. May 19 the enemy vigorously assaulted the right of the division 
(Shoup) on the graveyard road, and on May 22 repeated the assault at 
that point with increased force, and assaulted at a point a half mile to 
the left. Both assaults were repulsed with severe loss to the assail- 
ants. Five approaches against the division line were begun by the 
enemy, two of which (Ewing's against the redan on the graveyard 
road and Lightburn's against a lunette to the left of this redan) were 
pushed close and mines from them run under the ditch and parapet. 
Countermines were opposed to these mines, considerably delaying the 
enemy's progress. At the redan a countermine was fired the night of 
June 26, destroying the enemy's sap roller and damaging his approach. 
Two organizations of Mississippi State troops, the Fifth Regiment 
and Third Battalion, not mustered into the Confederate service, but 
subject to the orders of General Pemberton and by him placed under 
the command of General Vaughn, are enumerated with the division 
and rendered efficient service during the siege. No losses dining the 
siege for Vaughn's brigade. Baldwin's brigade, or the Mississippi 
State troops are shown in the casualty tables. From the official 
reports of commanding officers it appears that Vaughn lost 8 killed 
and 22 wounded from May 30 to the end of the defense; that Lieut.

the killed. Green's (Second) brigade was in position on the Rodney 
road near Port Gibson, and received the first fire from the advancing 
enemy at about 12.30 a. m. May 1. At daybreak the attack was 
renewed, flanking the brigade and compel lino- it to fall back with the 
loss of 2 pieces of artillery. Later three regiments and two lot- 
teries of Cockrell's (First) brigade joined in the battle, but the attack 
of the enemy in superior force, though stubbornly resisted, compelled 
Bowen. just before dark, to retire from the field with loss of 1 guns 
of the Botetourt (Virginia) Artillery and a number of prisoners. The 
division was at Bovina May 7, and on the 11th moved toward Edwards 
Depot. On the night of May 15 it bivouacked near Bakers Creek, 
and early in the morning of the lt>th held the center in the line of 
battle at Champions Hill as first formed on the cross-road between the 
Clinton and Raymond roads. About 2 o'clock the division made a 
gallant charge, recaptured 1 guns of Waddell's battery, and seemed 
for a time to restore the broken fortune of the day. On retiring from 
the field, at about 1 o'clock p. m., the division took position on the left 
bank of Bakers Creek for the purpose of covering the crossing of 
Loring's division. That command, however, did not cross, and Bowen 
moved to Big Black River Bridge, where, on the 17th, the division 
occupied the rifle pits north of the railroad, Cockrell's brigade on the 
right and Green's brigade on the left. About 8 a. m. the enemy made 
a determined charge, capturing a considerable part of Green's bri- 
gade and driving the remainder of the division in some confusion and 
with loss to the west side of the river. Upon reaching the Vicksbnrg 
intrenchments the division was at first placed in reserve. During the 
assault, May 19, Cockrell's brigade rendered material assistance to 
the brigades of Shoup and Hebert on the graveyard road. May 22, 
Green's brigade assisted Moore's brigade in repelling the assaults on 
its front, while Cockrell again gallantly aided in repulsing the attacks 
at the graveyard road. June 2, Green's brigade was placed in the 
line of defense south of the graveyard road, connecting with Hebert's 
brigade of Forney's division on the right and with Shoup's brigade 
of Smith's division on the left, where it remained to the close of the 
defense. June 27 General Green was killed while on duty in the 
trenches and Colonel Dockery, Nineteenth Arkansas, assumed com- 
mand of the Second Brigade. Cockrell's brigade continued to act as 
reserve, assisting in repulsing the assault at the Third Louisiana redan, 
June 25, and lending aid whenever and wherever called for.

1 Coekrell's report. 

2 By deducting the First Brigade loss, as reported by Coekrell, from the division loss as reported by 
Col. E. Gates. 

^Report of Col. Elisha Gates, dated Aug. 15, 1863, (p. 120, part 2, vol. 24, O. R.). 

Officers reported killed: 

Coekrell's brigade — Second Missouri, Lieut. Col. P. S. Senteny; Sixth Missouri, Col. Eugene Irwin, 
Lieut's John T. Crenshaw and John Roseberry. 
Dockery's (Green's) brigade— Brig. Gen. Martin E. Green. 



River batteries. 1 — Col. Ed. Higgins. 

First Louisiana Artiltery, 2 Lieut. Col. D. Beltzhoover; Eighth Louisiana Heavy 
Artillery Battalion, 3 Maj. F. N. Ogden; Twenty-second Louisiana, 4 Capt. Samuel 
.Tones; First Tennessee Heavy Artillery, 5 Col. A. Jackson, jr.; Tennessee Battery, 
Capt, J. B. Caruthers; Tennessee Battery, Capt. T. N. Johnston; Tennessee Battery, 
Capt. J. P. Lynch; V T aiden (Mississippi) Battery, Capt. S. C. Bains. 

This was, during the defense, an independent command, and Colonel 
Higgins reported to and received orders from General Pemberton 
direct. It was charged with the defense of the river front. Its line 
of batteries for that purpose extended from the mouth of Mint Spring 
Bayou on the north to the redoubt on the west side of the Warrenton 
road, at which the right of the exterior line of defense ended. Colonel 
Higgins enumerates the guns on his line at the beginning of the defense 
as follows: Eight 10-inch columbiads, one 9-inch Dahlgren, one 8-inch 
columbiad, one 7.44-inch Blakely, one 7-inch Brooks, one 6.4-inch 
Brooks, three smoothbore 42-pounders, two smoothbore 32-pounders, 
eight banded and unhanded 32-pounder rifles, one 18-pounder rifle, 
one 20-pounder Parrott, one Whitworth, one 10-inch mortar, one 

T The troops in this command paroled as of Moore's brigade. 

2 Bond's, Bruce's, Butler's, Capers', Grayson's, Haynes', Lamon's, and Robertson's 
companies. 

3 Barrow's, Grandpre's, and McCrory's companies. 

4 P. A. Gomez', Mark's, Marlott's, and Theard's companies. 

5 Dismukes', Neyland's, Norman's, and Parks' companies; Caruthers', Johnston's, 
and Lynch' s companies attached. 



60 

S-inch siege howitzer, making in all 31 pieces of heavy artillery, besides 
13 pieces of Light artillery, which were in position to prevent a land- 
ing of the enemy on the city front. These batteries were divided into 
three commands, as follows: The upper batteries, from Fort Hill to 
Glass bayou, were worked by the First Tennessee Artillery, under 
Col. Andrew Jackson, jr. The center batteries, or those immediately 
on the city front, were under charge of Maj. F. N. Ogden, Eighth 
Louisiana Artillery Battalion, to whose command was attached Capt. 
S. C. Bains' company of Vaiden Light Artillery. The lower bat- 
teries were in charge of the First Louisiana Artillery, under Lieut. 
Col. I). Beltzhoover. A portion of the Twenty-third (Twenty-second) 
Louisiana Volunteers was joined to Lieut. Col. Beltzhoover\s command. 
The evening of May 19 the enemy opened fire upon the upper 4-gun 
water battery, commanded b}^ Maj. F. W. Hoadley, First Tennessee 
Artillery, and rendered it temporarily untenable. During the night 
traverses were erected, affording protection to the men at the guns. 
The enemy also, on May 19, opened a heavy fire from three ironclads 
on Capt. W. C. Capers' 10-inch columbiad at the left of the line. 

At daylight on the morning of the 20th the enemy opened fire upon 
the city and batteries with seven mortars placed under the bank of the 
river on the Louisiana shore. Three of his ironclads also shelled 
the lower batteries at long range. May 22, at 9 a. m., four ironclads 
and one wooden gunboat engaged the lower batteries and were repulsed 
after an engagement of one and one-half hours. May 23, 11 of the 
light pieces on the river front were ordered to the rear line of defense, 
and were there served during the remainder of the defense by detach- 
ments from the command. From May 21 to May 26 the 8-inch siege 
howitzer, one smoothbore 32-pounder, the 20-pounder Parrott, and 
the Whitworth gun were removed to the rear line of defense, with the 
detachments serving them. Maj T 27 the enemy's gunboat Cincinnati 
attacked the upper batteries and was sunk after an action of thirty 
minutes. May 28 the 18-pounder rifled gun was sent to the rear line 
of defense in charge of Capt. L. B. Haynes's company (E), First Lou- 
isiana Artillery. June 1 a large fire broke out in the city, close upon 
the magazine of the AVhig office battery, which was at one time in 
great danger. The ammunition was moved to a more secure position. 
From June 2 to 8 two of the field pieces were turned over to Gen. 
M. L. Smith to be placed in the rear line of defense. June 12 the 10- 
inch mortar was ordered placed in General Forney's line of defense. 
It was manned by a detachment from Company G, First Louisiana 
Artillery, under Lieut. C. A. Conrad. June 21 the enemy mounted a 
L00-pounder Parrott on the Louisiana shore under the bank of the 
river, at a point about five hundred yards above the mortar boats. It 
opened upon the city during the evening, doing much damage. June 
^•1 to 27 firing from the enemy's guns on the Louisiana shore was kept 
up with great vigor. The guns of the command replied with delibera- 



61 



tion, but in consequence of the timber masking the batteries it was 
difficult to arrive at satisfactory results. June 29 or 30 the mortar 
was brought from the rear and remounted in its old position in the 
redoubt on the extreme leftof the line, where it was successfully used 
in driving off sharpshooters. In addition to the other guns on the 
Louisiana shore, the enemy opened two small Parrot! guns close to 
the bank in front of the city. July 2 and 3 heavy firing from all 
points. At 4 p. m. on the 3d the command opened tire all along it- 
line, and at 5 p. m. the last gun was fired by the river batteries in 
defense of Vicksburg. Colonel Higgins makes no exact statement of 
the loss of the command in killed and wounded during the defense, 
but reports: k *It will probably not amount to more than 30." Among 
the killed was Maj. F. W. Hoadley, First Tennessee Heav}' Artillery, 
who commanded the upper water battery. 

Miscellaneous: Fifty-fourth Alabama (detachment), Lieut. Joel P. Abney; City 
Guards, Capt. E. B. Martin; Signal Corps, Capt. C. A. King. 

The detachment of the Fifty-fourth Alabama, by order of General 
Pemberton dated April 15, 1S63, was assigned to Buford's brigade, 
Loring's division. It seems to have fallen back into Vicksburg after 
the battle of Champions Hill, May 16. The official records make no 
reference, during the defense, aside from the enumeration, to the 
City Guards and the Signal Corps.

JOHNSTON'S ARMY. 



Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. 



This army was assembled with the hope that its commander might 
be able to raise the siege of Vicksburg. Its headquarters were estab- 
lished at Jackson, but General Johnston was at Canton much of the 
time and occasionally at other points. July 1 the a'-.ny was being 
concentrated along the line of the Big Black River. July 3, General 
Johnston was near Birdsong Ferry and wrote General Peniberton that 
he hoped to attack about July T and that Pemberton's cooperation 
would be necessary. On learning of the surrender of Vicksburg, Gen- 
eral Johnston withdrew the army to Jackson. The organization of this 
army as here given is obtained from the abstract of return dated 
June 25, 1863, which is given below. The names of the commanding 
officers, except as to Loring's division, are taken from the Organiza- 
tion of the Army of the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, 
dated July 30, 1863.

railroad bridge at Big Black River. May 5 the division headquarters 
were al Bovina, and it was on this day ordered, first, to B. Lanier's 
and later to the railway bridge and Edwards. The last order was 
obeyed, but next day the division returned to Bovina, leaving guards 
at Edwards and at the railroad bridge. May 6 the order for the divi- 
sion to march to B. Lanier's was renewed and obeyed. May 7 it was 
ordered to occupy the line between the Baldwins Ferry road and the 
Halls Ferry road, and May 9 was ordered to guard Baldwins Ferry, 
Halls Ferry, and the private ferries near them. May 11 General Lor- 
ing was ordered to move two of his brigades (dose toBowen's position,

enemy is and in what direction moving.'' May 15 the division was in 
advance in the movement of the army from Edwards Depot, and it 
held the right of the line at Champions Hill May 16. The first shots 
of the battle were fired by the skirmishers in front of its line, but the 
division was not actively engaged until late in the afternoon, when it 
did efood service in covering - the retreat of the men of Bowen's and 
Stevenson's divisions to and across the lower ford and bridge over 
Bakers Creek. Deciding that his crossing could not safely be made
